Mechanical gantry level spread cycle vs stealth chop behavior

[mneis1]

I have observed that the mechanical gantry calibration works best with stealthchop enabled. At the default .12 A current, spread cycle cannot lift the gantry and result in it falling a bit. This might be solved by upping the default current but considering the reliability of that macro with stealthchop enabled, it might be a good idea to add a check in the macro to see if stealth chop is enabled and enable it if not (reverting it to however it was set before afterwards).

That's interesting, it might be more prudent to tune the drive current, but this result is significant as it shows stealthchop has more torque than spreadcycle at slow speeds.
